The Cubs have now won their season-opening series for the second-straight year after last season sweeping the Angles in a two-game set at Anaheim the team recorded series-opening wins in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1998 at the Marlins (2-1) and 1999 at Houston (2-1). Schwarber s three-run blast yesterday was his sixth career go-ahead home run of his 17 career regular season home runs, eight have either tied the game or given Chicago the lead dating to 2015, his last four regular season long balls have come on the first pitch of an at-bat. AGAINST THE BREW CREW: Chicago won 22 of 26 against Milwaukee from July 30, 2015 through September 5 of last season, hitting.245 with 26 homers and 119 runs scored in those 26 contests (4.6 runs per game) while posting a 2.33 ERA (61 ER/236.0 IP) however, the Cubs dropped five of their final six against Milwaukee last season, averaging 3.2 runs per game with a.245 average and a 5.26 ERA (31 ER/53.0 IP).

Wade Davis has converted his first two save opportunities this season, and has converted his last eight dating to September of last season with the Royals. Davis has not allowed a home run in his last 49.0 innings since September 24, 2015 that s the second-longest active streak in the majors, trailing only Baltimore s Zach Britton (66.0 IP). Koji Uehara has not surrendered a run in his last 16.1 innings since July 9 of last season that s the second-longest active scoreless innings streak in the bigs, second only to Britton (18.0 IP).
